Bon Jovi Setlist — FAQ

About Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi formed in Sayreville, New Jersey in 1983 around John Francis Bongiovi Jr. — a Perth Amboy-born singer-songwriter who had been recording demos at his cousin Tony Bongiovi's Power Station Studio in Manhattan since his late teens. After one of those demos, Runaway, was picked up by a New York radio station compilation and hit the lower reaches of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983, Jon was offered a record deal at Mercury and assembled a permanent band: keyboardist David Bryan (a childhood friend from Sayreville), drummer Tico Torres (a veteran of the New York session circuit), bassist Alec John Such (replaced by Hugh McDonald in 1994), and guitarist Richie Sambora (a Woodbridge guitarist Jon recruited specifically to round out the band's writing voice). The self-titled debut arrived in January 1984; the follow-up, 7800° Fahrenheit, in 1985. Neither broke the band into the front rank of American rock. Slippery When Wet, released in August 1986 under the production of Bruce Fairbairn with songwriting input from Desmond Child, did the rest of the work in a single record. The album sold more than 28 million copies worldwide, spent eight non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200, and gave the catalogue its two permanent encore staples in Livin' on a Prayer and You Give Love a Bad Name plus the acoustic Wanted Dead or Alive. New Jersey (1988) extended the run with Bad Medicine, Born to Be My Baby, and I'll Be There for You and made Bon Jovi, briefly, the biggest active rock band in the United States. The 1990s reset — a Jon solo album, Blaze of Glory, in 1990 followed by Keep the Faith (1992), These Days (1995), and a less-relentless touring calendar — gave the band the space to come back stronger on Crush (2000), the album whose lead single It's My Life pulled them onto MTV, into stadium routings across Europe, and into a second decade of headline-level commercial dominance. Bounce (2002), Have a Nice Day (2005), Lost Highway (2007 — a deliberately Nashville-leaning country-rock pivot anchored by Who Says You Can't Go Home with Jennifer Nettles), The Circle (2009), What About Now (2013), Burning Bridges (2015), This House Is Not for Sale (2016), and 2020 (2020) each followed. Richie Sambora departed the band on tour in 2013 and was permanently replaced by Phil Xenidis (Phil X), a Canadian session guitarist who has now been in the band longer than several of Bon Jovi's full-album cycles. The 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction reunited Jon, David, Tico, Hugh, Alec John Such (in his final public appearance before his death in 2022), and Richie Sambora on the stage in Cleveland. Jon's vocal-cord surgery in 2022 — a medialisation thyroplasty to correct a weakened vocal cord that had been quietly affecting his range for several years — opened a recovery period that has been documented across the Hulu series Thank You, Goodnight (2024) and the Forever (2024) studio album that followed. The band's live status from that point forward has been a hedged, leg-by-leg conversation rather than a full world-tour announcement, and remains so at the time this is written.
